CVSS 3.1
8.1 highCVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:HCVE-2020-5529
High (8.1). EPSS 4.7% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days. Fixed in net.sourceforge.htmlunit:htmlunit 2.37.0.
HtmlUnit prior to 2.37.0 contains code execution vulnerabilities. HtmlUnit initializes Rhino engine improperly, hence a malicious JavScript code can execute arbitrary Java code on the application. Moreover, when embedded in Android application, Android-specific initialization of Rhino engine is done in an improper way, hence a malicious JavaScript code can execute arbitrary Java code on the application.
